A common sight in many a British hedgerow, the Blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) is native throughout the British Isles and grows to around 4m (12ft) if left uncut. The white blossoming flowers appear in early spring before coming into leaf, standing out against the black twigs. In ancient folklore, Blackthorn has a sinister reputation often associated with witchcraft.

Many birds nest among its branches and the fruit, sloes, are made into jam, wine and used for flavouring gin (sloe gin)

The current height of these trees is approximately 20-40cm and they can be planted out all year round.

  • Plant in wet, dry, upland and exposed sites

Mini Hedge looking good

My Blackthorn hedging arrived neatly packed in a thin cardboard box.

They were in tiny sleeves of damp soil and easy to just plug into the prepared ground. The tiny plants have already spread out and are looking healthy.

It’s so useful to be able to have hedging delivered in this way, and not be limited to bare root autumn planting.
